I searched all the forums about this issue but all I can find is things dealing with setting up text messaging. I have no network problems with data, text, or voice I just used the HTC network wizard.
Whenever I get a text message I can see the the beginning of the text in the selection screen but when I click on it the message is blank? So I can't read the whole text. I searched this Forum but couldn't find any people with similar problems. It seems to send them fine I just can't read the whole message for some strange reason. I have been clearing my memory and then flashing my Tmob Dash for the last three Kavana releases, they all exhibit this behavior. Any help appreciated with my problem.
What Rom are you using?

Kavana 080408. The texts that I get show up on the main screen with a little bit of the text but when I click on them they don't show anything. I tried pressing all the buttons I can but it doesn't seem to do anything.
See is UNthreading them helps.
Uhm, just a silly guess here, but next time you're on the blank screen, click menu (right softkey) > 5 (Folders) > change to inbox, at least if it's not on inbox already. My friend changed his to sent and couldn't figure out why he couldn't see new ones either hehe
I looked everywhere in the messaging app and also the regular phone settings I don't see anything for unthreading. Also MMS can be viewed and sent normally. Just whenever I try to send or read a recieved text I have problems. When I try to send a text it doesn't let me type anything in at all. Not recipient and not the body of the text.
No I have already gone to all the folders. The inbox folder is where I can see the messages. You can read the begining of them, and who it is from but when you select one it doesn't show anything.
I had the same issue before, the problem disappeared after I uninstalled CE-Star (Chinese-reading problem).. do you have it installed?

Check in Accessibility Folder for unthreading.
DON'T Turn off the Damn active x
I finally fixed this problem.
I had a problem with WM 6.1 will only showing the headers and not allowing you to read the contents of : Text messages, Emails, MMS. This errors would also not allow you to write emails or text messages.
I thought Kavana's ROM had some big error with it but no one else was complaining. I downloaded Ricky's rom but same problem. So this weeked I fooled around with my phone believing it was some program I was installing. Even though I only install Google Maps, TCPMP, YGo, and Windows Live. I would install something then restart. I tried installing them one by one then it seemed to work but still after a time was becoming broken. I thought it had something to do with synching corrupted contact data. So I didn't synch but after a while it still came back.
This morning I finally realized that if you turn off active x it breaks the email and text which I assume both use IE active x The bad setting is.....
Main Settings Menu->IE Settings->Advanced Options -> NEVER TURN OFF ACTIVE X CONTROLS.
I think if Kavana, my personal hero, rolls another ROM you should take out this option.

I am glad to hear that you fixed and resolved your problem, and haha I hope that Kavana makes another Rom, he is awesome. But then again I got to thank Ricky for this rom to I love it.
hello i am having the exact same problem i checked all advice given i.e. make sure it is on inbox folder, check ie active x is enabled, and no change.
any advice
also when u do see the message headers like yianaki but when you select the message and then press a soft key it says"message cannot be signed and/or encrypted"
You need an encryption key for your email and you don't have it on your dash email, maybe. Just a guess. Is there documentation as to what you need to set up your email. What steps did you need to take to get your email on your home computer.
i actually have kavana 6.1 version 080408 so i just used the connection setup for US tmobile. and it was working previous to this problem. i did a hard reset now and its back to normal for now
SWEEEET!
Thanks "Y" you saved my life, I had the same problem. Keep Active x controllers checkmarked "On".
change IE option.
I had the same problem only can view the header of a msg, but can
t see the content. Here is what I did to solve it: go to IE\tools\option\general\encoding\change to Unicode
Cant Open Text Message.
Hi, I'm from Jamaica, I bought my HTC S621 from Digicel Jamaica [here]. I followed the instructions and installed WM6.1 80408 Kavana and it was totally amazing, I did it on Saturday and it worked great, everything was working GREAT. On Sunday I realized I was unable to open my text messages for viewing. When I click Text Message, the colour wheel shows and it starts to open then it closes. I did all the suggested this in this thread but nothing works, any more suggestions please, I really need to send text messages to my work crew and this is a major hindrance. I dont know how to soft or hard reset and would like to try that first, any other suggestion would be great. Thanks.
PLEASE dont laugh or throw tomatoes, I fixed it. In my attempt to load a Yahoo messenger app I installed an SMS application that was causing the issue. Problem solved, sorry to be a bother.

Just wanted to voice my agreement with Yianaki about "Never turn off Active X controls". The whole issue lies in the fact that the text messaging app is basically an Active X control. But I wanted to add the reminder that you need to make sure that the "Text Messages" app gets closed then reopened after you make the change, or it will not appear to work. (Use the task manager/celetask to close it)
I had the exact same problems with text messages: I could send an MMS, receive an SMS, but not send an SMS. When a text message came in, it showed up in the list as expected, but an attempt to view it resulted in a blank area with no useful menu options. I also couldn't send text (SMS) messages out because the create-new-SMS screen was blank and non-functional. It has nothing to do with the threaded vs unthreaded Accessibility settings for the phone, nor do you need to worry about configuring your WAP settings (GPRS and MMSC Settings); the "Connection Setup" app takes care of everything for T-Mobile perfectly. It's all an Active X issue.
PS: This is all on Ricky's v24 "Vanilla" ROM of WinMo 6.1 running on a T-Mobile Dash.
I have now had my TP2 for nearly a week and I am generally very pleased. However, there are a couple of problems that may be me or may be the phone that I have not in my ignorance been able to resolve.
Firstly with the calendar, if I enter a new appointment with specific times it shows on the home page and in the month and day display. If I make it an all day appointment of a reoccurring appointment it is not displayed and I have to disable Touchflo to get into the full calendar to find the appointment. This means the only way I am able to see appointments entered is if each is entered daily with specific times. Pretty useless if I have weekly appointments for the year (I would have to enter individually 52 times) or all day appointments / reminders.
Secondly, the You Tube application comes up with an “Unable to find a network” error message when ever I try to run it. I have no trouble with PIE, Opera, e-mail etc, only you Tube. (If I go to You Tube in PIE or Opera all is fine, it is just the You Tube application causing problems.
I have searched but have not found any postings that seem to answer these problems. Any help is gratefully received.
The Phone has an unlocked HTC standard rom on TMobile UK.
Many thanks
KJR
Update
I spent my lunch resetting and then hard resetting and seem to have calendar working properly. I backed up and restored and it still works OK, which is odd (but pleasing) as I would have thought I would be restoring what ever the problem was.
I still cannot get the You Tube applet to work and can find no setting that would allow me to alter how it finds the network.

You might have the proxy server setting active in advanced network settings, just remove the tick box if you do

Yes, that is necessary.
Also, with T-Mobile UK, you have to ensure their 'content lock' feature is disabled before the Youtube app will work. New T-Mobile accounts have content lock enabled by default (to protect minors from certain 'entertainment' sites). To remove the lock, you can either log into your T-mobile account online and follow the 'Phone settings' link, or call customer services and get them to do it.
Thanks
I checked proxy settings and they are disabled. It is not a major problem, just an annoying niggle as I can access You Tube via PIE etc. but it seems odd that the applet deesigned especially for the job doesn't work!
I had Youtube working out the box on T-Mob but couldnt get the facebook app or Microsoft MyPhone to connect.
I ended up setting up a second data connection with the settings:
general.t-mobile.uk
user
pass
And everything else left blank and on Auto and they then connected ok. Give that a shot and see if it helps.
I had the same youtube problem. It seems to be solved now, what I did was connect via wifi (which worked fine) and when I turned wifi off and connected over the air it worked.
Like most people, several of my contacts have been linked to my Facebook Friends. Then if I use PIM backup or My Phone after a flash and restore my contacts, the Facebook "link" is there, but it doesn't update the picture (the picture reverts back to whatever it was before the facebook link) and it doesn't update the status' or birthday's. I have even removed all the link's, and started over, but that doesn't work. I've tried everything i can think of, but can't figure this out... has anyone else run into this and have a working fix?
Yea, seems like this is a problem all over. When I try to link a contact to a facebook profile the list of profiles I am given to select from bears no relation to my actual list of friends. Most of my friends are on there but not all, some have pics & some don't, I have old FB contacts who I have since deleted & even have 1 guy I have never heard of & has never been on my friends list.
There is a hotfix on the htc website but tried to install it & it comes up with "this hotfix is not compatible with your device"
I've been trawling to try & find a fix but there doesn't seem to be one & very little mention of the TP2.
Anyone else have some input??
Smells like a ROM issue. Did you try with the official or a different cooked one?

Hi Jackos,
still on the original winmo 6.1 as I've got loads of software & really don't fancy having to reload everything.
Looking around it seems I'm not the only one with this kind of issue.
It gets worse.
This morning I tried again, logged out of facebook via my contact card & then went to log back in. I now get "connection failed" each time I try to connect.
FB is working fine on the app & via opera etc & I've got no probs with email etc so it's not data connection or signal.
This is def confined to HTC integration of FB bugt I can't use the hotfix they have posted because it claims it is not suitable for my device!!
Any help would be much appreciated.
Hey everyone,
Can anyone tell me if they've experienced this problem too please. I keep losing one particular contact on my HTC Desire. Once I've saved the contact to the phone, it could be there for a day or for 5 days before the cantact is deleted on its own accord!
Any ideas???
Many thanks.
does the record contain special characters? google sync doesn't seem to be able to handle these
(eg: ë é è ä á )

Nope, nothing mate, just a plain old name and a phone number.
When you save it, try saving it as a google contact, then sync it. I had that problem till I did this.

I was set in Google Contact and my Contact still deleted from my Contact
How to fix it?
Try adding it on your PC (in Gmail, via browser). I know it's not really a fix, nor it helps you understand what's going on, or prevent it happen with another contact but ... it's worth trying.
Its actually losing any new contact now. I saved a new one last Saturday, and now its "lost" it already! :-(
I had this problem on stock orange Rom.
Have had no problems since I rooted.
Guys, it seems to happen to any new contact. Any idea why this is happening? I'm not even close to the maximum number of contacts.
Anyone else have this issue too?
I had this issue with my Hero, that it would delete the second phone number I added to a contact, everytime I synced.
I got around this by changing the sync options to "replace item on PC" in the conflicts section, and it worked.
It seems for some reason the sync kept thinking the new data in the phone somehow is the older one or someting.
Give it a go and tell us what happened.
But this isn't even happening when I sync mate! :-( It just doing it randomly, any new contact I add.
Guys, was just checking System Updates on my phone, and Software 1.21.405.2 was available. I've just downloaded and installed it, was looking through me phone including my messages and noticed its added one of my missing contacts!!! :-D Hopefully was bug has been fixed!!!
I had a similar issue a few days ago - I added a couple of contacts to one of the default 'Groups' (Family, Friends etc).
Once added they disappeared from my contacts list on the handset. I moved over to the 'Call History' panel and found them, and switched the group option back off. But they were still not showing in my contacts. I thought they'd been deleted.
I jumped into G-Mail Contacts on the PC and found that they were still in the 'All Contacts' list, but had been taken out of the 'My Contacts' list.
By selecting each contact, and clicking the large 'Move To My Contacts' button on the top bar, they instantly reappeared back on the phone again.
Hope this makes sense and stops anyone wasting time trying putting the contact info back in again.
All this happened before the latest 1.21.405.2 - maybe this has been fixed though.

This is why I suggested adding a contact in Gmail. If you have problems with Google apps (gmail, contacts, calendar) it's allways good to check with the mothership (Google) to see what's going on.

I understand what your saying mate, but I'm a bit of a tart, I'd want all my contacts the same and be on the phone, not as SIM, Google, etc... I know what your saying is an easy fix, but it shouldn't be like that, the phone should bloody manage something simple as remembering a phone number! lol.
Anyways, fixed now, job done.
Yes I have the same problem. I hardly ever sync my phone because I have a Mac. Today my contact of my husband just disappeared, this contact I use the most, has the most details within it.
I know that the new download may fix this, but I use Skype on 3 and I do not know if skype will work after the upgrage. I use Skype to contact my family in South Africa.
Hey guys, I've updated my HTC Trophy to Mango and I've noticed a problem with WLM in Messaging.
In the Messaging under online, it only shows some contacts online, but not every online contact.
and when I go to some contact in the PeopleHub, it says text+chat, but it doesn't show it for everyone I speak to on WLM.
Anyone got a fix for this?
Thanks.
I have noticed this with my FB contacts. Some friends don't show up in the list available on my phone, but it does show them as available in FB chat on my computer.
I have this issue too.
And hope this is just a beta bug, but sometimes when I'm chatting with someone and I turn the screen off and after a while I turn on and go chat with the same person, it shows me that he is offline.
I need to go back to message hub, slide to "online" and wait to load again.
Its a privacy setting they have enabled to allow apps certain permissions. Fb has these and wlm has them each friend. Has to grant access to other apps to use chat and such

I've found that it's just the people I have added recently, all my older contacts seem to work fine.

Maybe.. in your email settings, how often you set to download new content?

Sync manualy once all of your accounts in Settings/email-accounts...
I download new content every 30 minutes and I keep syncing in manually in settings>email+accounts.
I'll be able to chat to people on WLM desktop, but not in Messaging on my phone, they don't appear online.
The problem might be the server that Windows Phone using is not the same as WLM, and some functionality of WLM have not finished yet in the current build of Mango (as it is for dev to testing app). We might have to wait until they release the final build or might be another working update. Right now, even those people from FB, Y!M or Gmail can see you online and they can send you message, but you probably cannot send back to them due to the limit of current build. However, I can confirm that WLM working perfectly. So if you guy has Live id, use it for messenger for now until we have the good build as we can message other services.
